'MORE CORRUPT NIGERIANS TO BE ARRESTED'- UK government.

Indications emerged yesterday night that a former
Petroleum Minister, Diezani Allison-Madueke, who
was arrested and released in the United Kingdom,
on Friday, on money laundering allegations, may
be charged to court, this week.
It was gathered that aside the four other persons
arrested with the former minister, more suspects
may also be arraigned soon.
Shocking revelation emerged during the week that
when the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) detectives raided the Abuja
home of Allison-Madueke, cash running into
millions of Naira were recovered.
Sources told Vanguard that the identities of all the
suspects would only be unveiled at the point of
charging them to court.
The official explained that the law establishing the
NCA does not allow it to name those being
investigated before charging them to court.
The official said: “Indeed we cannot name the five
persons who were arrested and granted police
conditional bail until we are ready to charge them
to court.
“The law does not permit us to do so and we will
release appropriate information to the media as
the case progresses”.
But it was learnt from sources close to the British
government that the NCA might have concluded
arrangements to arraign Diezani and other
suspects believed to be mostly Nigerian oil
business men, suspected to have aided and
abetted money laundering while the former
minister was in office.
